I've heard of a few people having it take over night to sort out. I would hold off on another, because if your luck is anything like mine... 2 copies will happen :')

So are your cities saved on certain servers? It says you can select another server but wouldn't that mean starting afresh?

beachBOYken said:
yeah , so if a server is down you cant play the city you created!

Yea if you change servers you have to start again.
You can also only add people as friends ingame if they are on the same server as you.

Wow, that sounds pretty poop

Why did they have to make it all online?

Well you can have like 10 slots on each server, so you do have to start again on each slot.

but you can have multiple going at once.

Have a OcUK region going on NA east 4 if anyone is interested.

Didn't the claim some sort of nonsense about home PCs not being able to cope with running it purely offline?

In reality it's just another crap DRM system that will likely annoy more genuine consumers than it will prevent piracy.

How do you deal with the traffic problems at the Highway entrances to your cities?

^ Click for hi-res.

Road density, it's an occurring problem for most people. even with the BEST roads, it happens.

Cuchulainn · 10 Mar 2013 at 14:29

Odd? Could you try again please?

Clairvoyant · 10 Mar 2013 at 14:30

So even with a high density avenue the roads can't cope? All the traffic seems to stop at the city entrance for no reason. It seems that there is a default, un-demolishable intersection at the entrance that causes all traffic to halt even if the only direction is straight forward.

Where is the cheapest place to buy this at the moment, I wasn't going to bother after seeing the patheticly small playing areas, but i'm just an absolute mug for city building games
